Oh yeah!  I was actually pretty apathetic about the HP movie (because I
loved the books so) until I heard that Rickman was to be Snape.  (Boy,
am I glad I went, 'cause I fell in love with the whole darn thing!) But
Sense and Sensibility had me hooked on Rickman from the outset...when he
leans over and whispers "The air is full of spices"...one of the best
voices in the business!  And I *knew* he wouldn't disappoint with
Snape's opening speech for potions class...  "I can teach you how to
bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses..."  yeah, baby!  He's great
leading man material.  Apparently the authors of the hilarious book
"Cinematherapy, a Woman's Guide to Movies for Every Mood" are rabid
Rickman fans as well...I would highly recommend reading their write-up
on the dishy Mr. Rickman, and think that I will brew a nice cup of tea
and settle in to watch my rather worn-out copy of  Sense and
Sensibility.
